Product Details

Albert Fouquet was part of elite French society in the early twentieth century and a perfume connoisseur, creating and perfecting various essences for his own use, aided by Philippe, the family butler. One night during his summer vacation on the Côte d'Azur in 1937, Albert met and got on very well with John, a young American student who was touring France in a convertible. John was captivated by the scent Albert was wearing and persuaded him to part with a sample. On returning to Paris, Albert received a letter from John informing him of the popularity of his fragrance in the US and asking for eight more samples, “...and, if your production allows, another one for Bob”. John F. Kennedy had set the ball rolling for Eight & Bob.

The Original Eau De Parfum has top notes of pink pepper, cardamom and lemon give way to a heart of violet leaves, labdanum and dried wood. Completing the fragrance are base notes of sandalwood, vetiver and amber. The Eau De Parfum actually has a limited and variable production each year due to a scarcity of "Andrea", the Andean plant whose extracts are the soul of Albert's original cologne.

As well as the Eau De Parfum, this set contains an aftershave balm that is suitable for daily use and will moisturise and nourish the skin. Its light texture will instantly soothe and calm any irritation caused by shaving. Infused with the elegant notes of Eight & Bob Original, it will subtly scent the skin throughout the day. There is also a spray deodorant that provides long-lasting protection against odour and perspiration. Suitable for use at any time of day, the deodorant will keep you feeling fresh and protected and is also infused with the distinctive Original fragrance.
